Lasagna with Meat Sauce
A shelf-stable lasagna baked straight from the box, with just enough technique to make it feel like dinner. The meat sauce is already built into the pasta layers, so there's nothing to brown or simmer. A handful of cheese and olive oil transform it into something that tastes like it took all evening.

To buy
- 1 cup [110 grams] shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup [50 grams] Parmesan cheese
From your shelf
- 1 box lasagna with meat sauce
Staples
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly oil a 9 by 5 inch baking dish or similar-sized vessel that will fit the assembled lasagna.
- Layer the lasagna according to package directions, using 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella and all of the Parmesan between and on top of the noodles and meat sauce. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper as you build.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top and cover loosely with foil. Slide into the oven and bake for 25 minutes covered, then uncover and bake for 10 to 15 minutes more, until the cheese is golden and the sauce bubbles at the edges.
- Let the lasagna rest in the turned-off oven for 5 minutes before serving. The edges should pull away slightly from the dish and the top should be set but still moist.
Note Swap the mozzarella for fontina if you have it and want a nuttier flavor. Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for three days and reheat gently under foil in a 300°F (150°C) oven. Serve with a green salad dressed with lemon and salt to cut the richness.
